schmoozer Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Here are pics of the whole box. 80% will be going to kids at the next antique show. The remainder go into the collection. There were roughly 2 dozen German swirls, mostly smalls. there is also a 1” onion skin that has many many hits. Wounded warrior… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a 1-5/16” blue Bennington, plus a 5/8” blue/yellow Popeye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leftover drain field media (clay balls) painted etc... & made to look like marbles, they're are still a lot of them around.

schmoozer Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 My “small” score…🥴 A pair of 1-1/4” thumb pots. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 I don't stop in this thread often enough. Those thumb pots are adorable. Joep's carved concrete is amazing. And I love Eggie's marble bag, with contents -- a time capsule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 To top off my “small” score, I doubled the size of my sulphide collection with a mint 2” squirrel! with a 3” Blenko paperweight as a kicker. we also discovered (via Craigslist) 2 boxes of 10 Blenko colored glass dalles, each is 8”x12”x1” thick. About 9lbs/dalle, so 180lbs in total. Thinking about adding them to our fence, similar to the fences at the Blenko Visitors Center in Milton, WV. For those of you thinking about visiting Portland, I advise against it. Haven’t been there in 7 years, it is a worse sh…le than Seattle. Homeless camps everywhere, in every park, street corner, even in neighborhoods between houses. Very sad… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
